There's a persistent Net-SNMP session connection established between the master and subagent. This is used for all request/response dialog between the two. (Note that it's actually the subagent that establishes this session, not the master agent. But I doubt that is relevant to your problem). I'd agree with Mike - the first thing to do would be to identify whether this is an issue between the master and subagent, or between the master and your monitoring application. 2008/10/7 Mike Ayers <[email protected]>: > AgentX is single-session by design. That's not strictly true, Mike. The AgentX protocol supports the idea of multiple sessions between the same subagent/master pair. See RFC 2741, section 6.1: h.sessionID ..... A subagent may establish multiple AgentX sessions by sending multiple agentx-Open-PDUs to the master agent. I haven't checked the Net-SNMP code, as to how this is implemented (or even if it's supported at all). I strongly suspect it hasn't really been tested in anger.
